Ballistic Armor Explained

Here's a brief explanation about armor protection levels and our advantages.

Welcome to our Community.

Our customers are the most well-informed community in the body armor industry. Let's start with a couple of very important topics.

What makes us different?

We FOCUS on ceramic armor. We're not into t-shirts, pants, socks and everything else.

We design, assemble and bond 95% our products in the United States of America with materials from longstanding worldwide sources that can meet our specifications.

We succeed where others fail: We use specially formulated thermally-activated adhesives and apply pressure via professional vacuum systems during cool down. We use an aramid, polyethylene blended material throughout our plate which reduces trauma and ceramic fragmentation. We go the extra mile to do things right and it shows in our performance. We are transparent. We show you how we build and can adjust mid-stream to make your plate 100% customized, if desired.

* We only ship to CT or NY state addresses when compliant with state law. Interested customers residing in these two states must contact us before placing an order.
